A variety of modes of delivery are used depending on issues such as need of students, availability of lecturing staff, suitability of mode to content, and the availability of suitable places to teach. The following are the usual modes of delivery. Sometimes these will be mixed.

Primarily Face to Face Modes

Weekly

Most units are delivered by weekly classes of 3 nominal hours, offered over a 14 teaching week semester.

Extensive or Saturday Plus

Some units each semester are offered over a series of Friday night and all day the next day, Saturday. In Tabor language these are known as Saturday Plus (Sat +) classes. There is usually a 3 to 5 week gap between the classes, and there are usually three of these, sometimes with an additional Friday night session.

Intensive

Sometimes units are delivered in an intensive of typically one five day week of all day classes, sometimes with a follow up tutorial held some weeks later.

Primarily Non Face to Face or On-Line Modes

Facilitated External

A mode that allows occasional meetings of students with a faculty member, but which used online methods for most of the learning and resource provision.

External

The use of online resources with no planned meetings of students and faculty.

Directed Study

In special cases, a student may meet with a faculty member and plan a study process for a unit, meeting with the faculty member occasionally throughout the period of study. In some units online resources will be available for students in face to face modes, and students in non face to face modes may engage online with face to face mode students.
